Re: Perfect Game Lost on Blown Call.

I would disagree with fair/foul - unless the coach is arguing a ball called fair was indeed foul. The other way around simply would not work - what base would you put the runner on? When I was in my late teens, I used to umpire a lot of games in the local baseball league. We went through training

Balks? No. Fair vs. Foul? Yes. Check Swing? No. Foul tip vs. Swing and miss? Yes Batter out of the box? No Did the runner tag up or leave too early? Yes Did a ball in play hit a base runner? Yes Did a thrown ball hit a base runner? Yes Too easy. ~~

Re: Perfect Game Lost on Blown Call.

Here is another question that I and a die-hard baseball co-worker were debating this morning should Selig's office overturn the official's decision? I know it is incredibly unprecedented, but the evidence is so clear that no one is arguing that it should have been a perfect game. What's wro

Re: Perfect Game Lost on Blown Call.

I dunno, if done right, I think it would be an asset. Like football, there needs to be a clear set of rules of when it can be used and how many times it can be used. Call on the field stands if no conclusive evidence otherwise, no challenging balls and strikes, only pays in the field. Unlike fo

Re: Perfect Game Lost on Blown Call.

Perfect Game Lost on Blown Call.

DETROIT -- Armando Galarraga of the Detroit Tigers lost his bid for a perfect game Wednesday night with two outs in the ninth inning on a call that first base umpire Jim Joyce later admitted he blew. Wow. Jim Joyce has to feel lower than a s
